About the book: 2017 / Is it easy to play the role of a mistress on the theater stage if you have to rehearse it in your personal life? And is it worth dramatizing so much when a dream is at stake, and the performance is only for a couple of acts? Rinat Valiullin's new novel is a kind of nesting doll, where one story is hidden in another, one theme gives rise to many, touches the hearts of many - fatal or frivolous, promising or empty. Mixing such different ingredients in one dish: the nature of love and the torment of creativity, Spanish bullfighting and behind-the-scenes fuss, the sadness of psychoanalysis and the joy of curiosity, the author slyly serves it under the title “Frivolity.”».
